One of the specific requests from the leadership of the Quiche tribe we work with was for a hospital. We all agreed to start with a clinic. Basic healthcare services are severely lacking in Guatemala. Many doctors at the national hospitals are still trying to get their 2014 wages. One hospital organized their employees to bring in food for the patients. The most basic services are desperately needed.
An existing building on the school campus is undergoing extensive renovation on it’s way to becoming a functional clinic. This will be staffed for limited days by volunteer doctors and nurses from local churches until the full schedule and expanded slate of services is developed.
A team from DeMotte, IN has replaced the roof with a clear story design that allows light to flow into the interior rooms. This January 2017 this same team will return to add a waiting room.
Help cover renovation costs.
